Cummins Filtration President Pamela Carter to Assume New Role as Leader of Cummins Distribution Business

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announces that Pamela Carter, President Cummins Filtration, has been promoted to the role of President Cummins Distribution Business, effective today.

She succeeds Rich Freeland, who was named President of Cummins Components group following the recently announced retirement of Rick Mills. In her new role, Carter will oversee the Companys global distribution network which is the primary path to market of Cummins products and consists of 500 distributors and more than 5,000 dealers in over 160 countries.

Were very excited to have someone as experienced and talented as Pamela step into the leadership role of our Distribution Business, said Cummins President and Chief Operating Officer Joe Loughrey. Distribution is a critical part of our strategy going forward, and we are counting on Pamela to make this business even more successful in the future.

Carter, 58, joined Cummins in 1997 as Vice President and General Counsel, after a distinguished legal and political career that included a term as Indiana Attorney General, becoming the first elected African-American female Attorney General in U.S. history. She joined the leadership team of Cummins Filtration residing in Belgium in 2000 and assumed her current position in 2005 in Nashville, which is Cummins Filtrations global headquarters.

Cummins Filtration is the largest and most profitable business in the Companys Components segment and employs approximately 5600 people worldwide.

Cummins is poised to continue its strong growth around the world, and I am honored to be given the responsibility to build on the good work Rich has done in the Distribution business, said Carter, who will relocate to Cummins headquarters in Columbus, Ind. I am proud of the work the Cummins Filtration team has done in the past several years to create a business that is a leader in nearly every market it serves, and am confident that such success will continue.

A successor to Carter at Cummins Filtration is expected to be named in the near future.
